This 2006 BMW M5 is powered by a 5.0-liter V10 paired with a 7-speed SMG-III transmission and shows 40k miles. The car is finished in Silverstone Metallic, and options contributing to the $95k cost when new include a Black Perforated Full Leather interior, BMW’s Comfort Access, multifunction seats, a heads-up display, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, and a matching rear spoiler. Modifications include RPI Air Scoops with block-off plates, an RPI underdrive pulley, and a Sprint ECU tune. The car has been serviced by the same technician in Thousand Oaks, California since it was purchased by the previous owner with 6k miles in 2011. It is now offered with a accident-free Carfax report, the window sticker, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The E60 M5 features special valances, rocker extensions, flared fenders, and fender vents with M badges. This example is finished in Silverstone II Metallic, and clear protective film has been added to the front bumper, headlights, hood, side mirrors, side skirt, and bottom rear bumper sides. Window tint has also been added.

Factory 10-spoke 19″ alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin rubber measuring 285/35 out back and 255/35 up front. Ventilated and cross-drilled brake rotors are equipped at all four corners. A discreet rear spoiler was optioned new at no additional cost.

The cabin is equipped with iDrive, which is controlled by a machined aluminum wheel on the center console. According to the seller, this M5 was delivered with BMW Comfort Access, multifunction ventilated front seats, and a heads-up display that is demonstrated in the gallery below. The Black Perforated Full Leather option features leather on the doors, dash, armrest, and other surfaces.

Additional features included four-place seat heaters, a tilt/slide glass moonroof, air-conditioned front seats, and more. The provided gallery shows the door panels, flip-down cup holders, seating surfaces, SMG shifter/control buttons, and more. The odometer now shows 40k miles, with about 25k added by the seller over the past 3.5 years.

The 5.0-liter S85 V10 was factory rated at 500 horsepower with 380 lb-ft of torque when new, and sends power to the rear wheels via a paddle-shifted 7-speed SMG-III transmission and a variable locking M differential. The seller installed RPI Air Scoops with block off plates, which can be seen in the gallery below behind the kidney grilles. An RPI underdrive pulley, an aftermarket Sprint ECU tune, and an exhaust resonator-removal are the other noted modifications. A port is equipped under the hood for a battery tender.

No accidents or damage are shown on the Carfax report, which can be further viewed below. The seller reports that the same technician at Rusnak BMW in Thousand Oaks, California has serviced the car since it had about 6k miles in 2011, and he installed new brake pads this year. Last month all spark plugs were replaced, and the car was covered by a third-party warranty up to 2017.
